Undergraduates enter a four-year program of study leading to an
ABET-accredited B.S. degree in Chemical Engineering. Each undergraduate
in the chemical engineering program is assigned a faculty adviser,
who fills this role from the time the student enters the University
until graduation with the B.S. degree in Chemical Engineering. Faculty
advisers help students assess their academic goals and career objectives,
understand program requirements, and guide decisions regarding the
choice of technical and non-technical electives.

TECHNICAL TRACKS
(download it!)
The undergraduate curriculum is also structured so that students
can specialize in one or more important areas of technology within the curriculum, as technical electives. The sequence
of courses will lead to a more in-depth understanding
of a particular area of technology and possibly a minor. Early planning would increase the possibilities of completing a minor because of prerequisites.

***********************************
The introductory course (ChE 150) titled: "Green Engineering for a Sustainable Environment " is highly recommended that all of our entering students take, since it introduces students to the important role that chemical
engineers will increasingly come to play in the future in the development
of low pollution, energy efficient manufacturing processes.
